So easy to remember sitting in your room while you played them drums of yours smiling all the time and always giving the best advice and never knocking the next kid, yea we were kids then playing football in the street always in front of your house playing spades on the trunk of who´s ever car would be parked in front of your house you my friend was a great kid also of course a great man, I remember everything we did I was surprised when you had to leave it wasn´t a good time but I do imagine you doing what you had to do when that time came, your mother and sister i Imagine miss you more than any of us could ever know as well as the wife you had to leave you came from a great family and rest assure my friend no one forgot you, your smile or laugh and most certainly not your pleasant demeanor ,one other thing I wish to say in your memory and that being " if there really is a heaven that´s the only place you can possibly be, you probably doing what you loved the most playing heaven music on your drums,rest in peace my brother hope to see you again your friend Nikita

It's been a long time my friend Greg the Drummer better known as Thumperastic. Some of the best times of my life were spent with you playing music in our bands - United Funk Organization and Cash Money. You never faked the Funk - You always kept it real. One day we will meet again with all the rest of the Funkateers. Your Band Leader & Friend - Captain Funk

To the Bennett family

I remember the days of SUNO and the countless hours on Cartier Street creating and recording music. I've learned a lot of musical concepts from Greg . My heart is heavy because I lost a brother and a good friend who had a kind spirit. But one thing I know because of that kind spirit , God has found favor with him.

From my family we send condolences and remember not to let your heart be troubled , for we will see him again someday.
